Ramada Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 04 Mar 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

The Ramada Inn in Sumter offered me a great value as the price was much lower. It is situated within walking distance of the historical Downtown area and surrounded by beautiful old homes. Although the motel looked a bit outdated on the exterior, the room was spacious and recently renovated. It smelled fresh and clean and had all the amenities including a coffee pot, hair dryer, iron and ironing board and refrigerator. The only criticism I have is that the bar smelled strongly of stale smoke and the lobby area and restaurant looked a little shabby. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The front desk clerk even printed out a MapQuest map for me to drive to my next destination as they didn't have maps available to give out.

Positives: Room was recently renovated and very clean.

Negatives: Lobby area and bar/restaurant was tired and shabby.

Positives: The room was clean/food was fine.

Negatives: Hotel needs to be up-dated.

Hotel met my expectations as a two star hotel. The free, hot unlimited breakfast buffet including make-your-own Belgian waffles was a very pleasant surprise. I really only wanted clean sheets and a clean bathroom, which it has. Also, the microwave and fridge was a big bonus. Excellent value for the price. I'd highly recommend if your looking for a no-frills, clean, cheap place to stay.

Positives: Breakfast was excellent. It was complimentary, but I would have gladly paid the $7. Coffee was awful, but again, free.

Negatives: Hotel was old and very run down (but clean), and in a very sketchy area; would not stay alone as a woman.

I felt safe at this Ramanda Inn. I must say I usually say with the Holiday Inn chains. After I arrived, the clerk was friendly and accommodating and the room was nice and clean.

Positives: Clean hotel, nice area, friendly service.

Negatives: Liked everything.

Phone did not work...finally moved to another room filthy! Empty condom package on floor beside bed. Other debris including an extinguished cigarette in a non-smoking room. There is no star rating for this place.

Positives: The only thing I liked was that I will not have to be back.

Negatives: Everything.

Needs to be lit up better at night. It is a good idea to provide a security guard to patrol it.

Positives: Nice swimming pool area and palm trees.

Negatives: Felt unsafe and dark at night.

The staff was great. The contracted dinning facility should be commended. The hotel is aged and had some minor issues i.e. Toilet handle had to be jiggled, shower/tub fixtures needed adjustments or replaced, refrigerator needed defrosting and we saw one roach in the room which was his/her last day.

Positives: The staff was excellent.

Negatives: It is old and had some maintenance issues (minor).

Positives: Continental breakfast was great.

Negatives: Homeless/not very clean people hanging out in halls/stairwells of hotel.

I felt the staff were friendly and helpful, everything you needed was located in that area. Overall, the kindness of the staff impressed me the most.

Positives: We all enjoyed the hot breakfast... wasn't quite expecting a buffet. My expectation was toast and hot coffee. We all enjoyed it.

Negatives: Rug needed to be shampooed, bathroom too small (walls needed washed down), and pool was closed the entire day on Saturday.

Comfortable, they have one of the best breakfast of any hotel. Generally the staff was pleasant and accommodating Just one staff member could revisit why she is in the hospitality business.

Positives: Management was willing to accommodate our needs and made our stay very comfortable.

Negatives: One front desk personnel was abrupt, not friendly or accommodating, needs more training.

It would be worth $20 more to stay at Holiday Inn Express. Awful experience.
